Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

Is there a difference between historical imperialism and modern economic imperialism and why
GalinKa [24]

Answer: Imperialism and colonialism are terms that are often used in many ways and perhaps for this same reason, often used interchangeably. These are concepts that can be difficult to define, but it is important to understand that they do not mean the same thing.

Imperialism is defined as the policy or tendency of a nation to extend its control over other states. It is exercised politically, socially and economically. The imperialist nations extend their control, power and their rules. They control the political and economic life of other nations. The concept of imperialism is much broader than that of colonialism. It can be exercised formally, informally, directly or indirectly. Informal imperialism can be achieved through various methods, such as; not allowing weaker states to achieve or maintain their independence or by reducing their sovereignty.

Colonialism can be defined as a product of imperialism and is commonly associated with the formal control exerted by a nation over a weak state (colony), from which resources are exploited; that is, a nation takes over a territory or State and the resources it possesses. Colonialism refers to the action of governing a territory. Unlike imperialism, it is about extending control more and more. When it is colonized, it is sought that the colony becomes dependent on who dominates it and the natives of said colony are subdued or displaced. Colonization is one of the ways in which imperialism operates. please mark me as brainiest

How did the baby boom affect the U.S. economy?
stira [4]

The correct answer is D, as during the baby boom in the United States, growing families increased the demand for products.

The baby boom was a demographic phenomenon during the period between 1946 and 1964, characterized by a notable increase in the birth rate, as it went from 132 million people in 1940s to 203 million in the 1970s.  This phenomenon produced an increase in the demand for goods and services, due to the population increase that it generated.
